Anyone know anything about them?

I saw one on craigslist from a guy who inquired about a tank im selling and was curious what they are like.
i dont think i want one, i did mention to him that they are rear fanged and he should mention that in the ad he made.

Are they normally like a mean snake? like a display only kind of snake?
or are they sort of handle able?


like i said, i doubt i want one, im just curious because it seems like a cool snake lol.

I've never owned them but messed with a few that friends have had. They are generally very docile tempered in my experience. My friend had 7 and all were pretty friendly and easily handleable. That said they're very sensitive and shy, so they hate being handled. I would put it this way, don't handle them out of fear from being bitten, avoid handling them out of fear of overs-tressing and causing illness or loss of appetite. So display only snake. Not to mention they're a pain because it's nearly impossible to convert them to pinks and they usually only eat lizards.
They are very cool though.

well, most of the people that keep them live in florida, same with most of the breeders. you guys seem to have an abundant invasive food source scurrying about.
